A small number of the logically possible word order configurations account for a large proportion of actual human languages.

Constructed Wetland Treatment Plant Constructed Wetland Microbial Fuel Cells

18 This work aimed at determining the amount of energy that can be harvested by 19 implementing microbial fuel cells (MFC) in horizontal subsurface constructed wetlands 20 (HSSF CWs) during the treatment of real domestic wastewater. To this aim, MFC were 21 implemented in a pilot plant based on two HSSF CW, one fed with primary settled 22 wastewater (Settler line) and the other fed with the eff...
